My friends and I have been playing it since the first edition. We've had a yearly vacation we all take to my friends lakehouse for a number of years now, and it's always a priority for us to play whetever version of TI is out at the time.

Latest edition is a great mix of nice bits and solid rules.

Own it. Played it once. Would play again once my friends and I can plan some free time that coincides with each other. The people I played with would definitely be up for playing it again.

A Pew Research Center poll found nearly half of Americans hold the false belief that TARP was passed under President Obama, while only 34 percent know it originated under Bush."Oh yeah?" Bush replied. "50% of the people were wrong."

Fantastic game. Works best with 3 or 6 players, but 5 is tolerable. Put aside 6-8 hours to play the game after you've played the game a few times to figure it out. The first couple times you play with new people may take as long as 12 hours :shock: . If you can find a gaming group dedicated enough to play it, I haven't found a better game.

The third edition is still a big, long game, but they've built in a time limit in the form of the Imperial card and score track.

You're also speding a lot more time doing things instead of waiting for someone to finish a turn, as each player takes one action, then the next, then the next, until no one wants to perform actions so they can refresh their command points (what allows you to make actions in the first place).

Through the DesertNot my favorite game personally, but chicks dig the bits and the rules are simple and fairly fun.

And if you're in need of something to keep yourself happy, you'll be pleased to know that the remake of Conquest of Empire (the spiritual father of Axis & Allies) was just rereleased recently (I think it's out now, if not it should be soon).Conquest of Empire

Just off the top of my head... s

Hehehe, thinking on the same wavelength.

We just got Carcassone, and Memoir '44. And I actually have the old old Conquest of the Empire from when I was a little kid! I'll have to look at the remake. I think we broke most of the pieces... or I should say my sister's broke most of the pieces! Everytime they'd lose, pieces would go flying all over the place... then get stepped on.

I'd never even considered (or looked closely) at Queen's Gambit. I thought it was a sissy game for young girls of Barbie playing age :lol: but reading what it's actually about, it looks like we would enjoy it a lot!
